Uninstall QT creator / studio

Norma Jenkins · 2024-07-19 10:04:42

Hello, I recently Installed qt creator that brought up a lot of other Qt related things like QT designer etc. I would like to know a way of uninstall them.

I tried

pacman -Qq | grep qt

and searched for any packages related to that, but found only Wayland stuff (I use KDE so Wayland is something I need)

Have you seen this?

Perhaps

pacman -Rns <packageName>

???

I don't wanna be an asshole, but have you read my question? I literally said I found nothing related to Qt Studio.

Would work if there was a package I could just delete like that, news: there isn't. I don't know how Qt creator install itself as

pacman -Q

doesn't show any packages related to that Environment
Apps to uninstall
apps

The QT maintenance doesn't work as it tries to open itself from ~/Qt which doesn't exist

Er... no, that's not what you said.

What you said is that you installed lots of "things, etc" and you wanted to know how to remove "them".

I assumed you meant that when you installed qtcreator it brought along a bunch of dependencies (like clang, clazy... yaml-cpp) and that you wanted to know how to remove those dependencies when you remove the package.

I provided you with the literal answer. I also provided you with a link so you could dig deeper if you found my answer unsatisfactory.

I suggest you reflect on what you actually want to achieve. Because, if pacman -Q doesn't list the package, it wasn't installed with pacman (and, news: packages don't install themselves).

It sounds like what you *really* want is to remove some "things" from some "menu" that reference packages that no longer exist or never existed (but I don't want to put words in your mouth).

That's a completely different question and one I can't help you with, as I don't use KDE.

Best of luck.

Cheers,

You don't. qtcreator requires qt6-tools, and those are part of that package.

Edit: Or maybe I misunderstood? What, exactly, did you do when those showed up?

Another question is did you install Qt Creator or Qt Studio? Qt Creator alone will just install that with it's minimal dependencies but it seems like you installed a whole suite.
And how did you install the package(s)?

You may be blind then, read again my post, you assumed wrong, why assume? I want to know how to remove QT-creator, idc about the dependencies that's an easy thing to remove. I said I didn't see anything related to qtcreator, someone who has a brain replied saying qt6-tools has it, but qt6-tools also had my KDE desktop, anything plasma related

Installed Qt-Creator via

qt-online-installer-linux-x64-4.8.0.run

So you installed that program without using pacman .

Unless you know exactly what such an installer does, running such programs on archlinux is a good way to break things .

Try rerunning it , maybe it has an uninstall option .

So sorry I couldn't help, Norma_Jenkins. [smiles sweetly]

Have a nice day.

It's best to install everything via pacman or AUR. There is a whole dedicated wiki on QT:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Qt
Pacman will list those packages you installed as orphans I would think so maybe just run pacman to remove orphan files with

# pacman -Qdtq | pacman -Rns -

then reinstall whatever QT you need through the official channels from the wiki above.

Lone_Wolf · 2024-07-24 12:20:18

removing orphans is not likely to help in this case.

Norma Jenkins, this thread doesn't look like it has helped much to solve your issue. Can we try to focus on solving it ?

I suspect you have 2 QT installations atm .

One is managed by pacman, is present under /usr and likely contains qt5 & qt6 .
These are the packages that are shown with pacman -Qs qt .

The 2nd one was created by running qt-online-installer-linux-x64-4.8.0.run and is located somewhere else on your system.
I have to guess but expect it's found mostly under /opt/qt or /opt/Qt with some parts possibly in your user homefolder .

Solving this through re-running the online installer to (hopefully) uninstall the separate qt install has the biggest chance of succeeding.
Please try it.
